People act good in public

Omo, all I can say is Omo, the rain that hit me today was something else while I was on my way home, my whole body was wet, I had to take off my clothes and had a good bath the moment I arrived home, felt cool and also cold, I think this is the time I wished I had a girlfriend or perhaps a bestie, cause I don't think I will be able to handle relationship as of now, my head is already full and I don't want anyone to add to it, haha, bestie will be better, at least there won't be debit alert unless if I wanted to act generous, haha, I would have told her the cold hit and I needed a warmer for the cold weather, lol.

I couldn't write yesterday cause I almost collapsed, haha, my head was just too fool which which made me to press the sleep button because if it was too working, maybe things would have been worst, thank God for pressing the button for me, cause I wasn't ready to press it myself, I'm fine now, though what was stressing me yesterday Sunday didn't work out, haha.

Now to the topic of the day, while I was on my way going home, I was stuck on the road in the rain and at first, I had to look for a place to hide, cause it was very heavy, I saw no other place than the traffic officer tent, I don't know the right name for it, but it's like a tent, where the people that control traffic usually stays, to make sure people or perhaps motorist obey the traffic light.

I was just there for the rain to keep calm a bit, the officer was closed for the day, the light was still active, that's when I saw a motorist passing it anyhow, which obeying it, it almost resorted to traffic cause they were coming from a different direction, I was just playing music in my earbud and was still observing them if anyone will at least obey the light at that hour, haha, well, we all know how humans are, haha.

Well, there was a car that stopped when the light was red, I was like surprise, like do good citizens like this still exist, I know that in other develop countries, there are Cctv cameras close to the traffic light to see people that will offend it, I don’t know of other states in my country though, but the state that I stay here don’t have the cctv cameras around it, instead the traffic officers are there to make sure people don’t offend it in day time.

While other motorists was offending the lights, this one car didn’t offend the light, the red countdown went and the green countdown too, the motor was still there, I was like, why is this driver not moving, he is thinking that I am one of the traffic officers and don’t what to pass the red light so I won’t go after him, but the green light has came twice and he’s still there, so I kept calm and watched when he’s going to move, after four counts, he decided to move when it almost green and he passed when it became green, that's when I cleared my head he was trying to be a good city.

The way he moved before it was almost green, shows that either his car developed an issue or he was talking to someone in the car and the conversation doesn't want to wave (allowing it to slide) away the conversation, we all must have been in one or more conversation that we didn’t want to leave the, haha) that’s what I believed must have made the driver to stop and not the light, there was another person in the car with him.

I guess the country is already gravitating, haha, the article is not about traffic lights but about what people will do in public because someone or some people watching them, but will do otherwise when no one is watching, they pretend to be good in public and they do evil in private, I don't know where the drivers were rushing to at night that made them be offending the light (maybe I will know soon when I buy my car and start driving) well, I still believe that it's also because of the insecurity that's why they were driving fast, so no one will hijack their car while they were waiting for the light at night.

Some people do like being good in public because others will praise them for their kind gestures and also give them accolades, I hardly see people that do things out of genuine heart, but instead, they just do it with the heart of being recognized by the public for their generosity when they're using it to chase clout.
